Schooooool’s Out For Summer!

Every time someone says that, I sing the Alice Cooper song in my head and want to watch Dazed and Confused! Today was Luke’s last day of Kindergarten. I’ll admit that I was anxious for the school year to end, but it made me really sad today. My husband thinks I’m a lunatic for crying,

Eek! I’ve been MIA from the blog this week! Between the last week of school and my computer crashing it’s been tough to write. Words of advice- Back up your computer. Do it now! You won’t be sorry that you did, you will only be sorry you didn’t! Hopefully Geek Squad can recover the last

Sorry I am a day late, but it was a very busy weekend! I want to wish all of the fathers out there a Happy Father’s Day. I hope that everyone enjoyed a great day with the special Dads in their lives. We traveled to DC for the weekend to visit my sister-in-law and go

Sounds gross, right? If you had told me that I would be eating or drinking something with kale a year ago, I would not have believed you. In fact, I didn’t even know what kale was. It’s an intimidating vegetable, and I haven’t quite figured out how to incorporate it into our weekly veggies but

I’ll be the first person to admit that I am not a perfect mom, not even close. I sometimes lose my cool and fly off the handle, especially since the twins were born. The stress of raising the twins 24/7/365 without a break and essentially no adult contact other than my husband is overwhelming at

I’ve been avoiding posting about potty training because, frankly, I’m a little embarrassed that my kids aren’t even close to being potty trained yet. Luke was fully potty trained by 2.5 except he wore a pull-up at night until his 3rd birthday. I’m lucky if I can even get the twins to sit on the

We started on our real food journey about six months ago. I call it a journey because it’s still a work in progress, although we are about 90% processed food free at this point. I figured that there is no better way to be conscious of what you are eating than to grow it yourself!! So this
